The Nightmare before Benediction

Whew! Our roadshow is over! And it was awesome, the kids did great! We appreciate all the hard work that everyone put into it! The theme given to us was, "To Learn, To Do, and To Be." Scott wrote the script about 2 families (the McYoungs and the Hatfields) at stake conference, one is paying attention and the other is not. Steve Young Hatfield falls asleep as the stake president is speaking about a scripture that tells us to wear a hat. His dream goes into a family feud game show where the top answer on the board is Wear a Hat. Throughout the dream, some characters follow the presidents advice, others do not and many question why. The dream concludes in the park with seagulls coming and those who did not wear hats get"droppings" on their heads. They all then help each other get cleaned up and don't judge each other. The show concludes back at stake conference with the president reading the scripture he was referring to about the helmet of salvation. We spoofed a ton of characters and the audience loved it. Hopefully we'll have a video of the performance up here soon. Check out the slideshow below.

Quotable Quips and Laughable Life

I decided that I wanted to add a small section with little things that my kids have said or done over the years that I never want to forget and I think are worth sharing. Unfortunately I was much better at writing these things down a bit late in the game....Chelsie steals the show here a bit. If only I could remember all those things I thought I'd never forget. I hope you take my challenge to write down all those things you hope to pass on one day.

When Chelsie was about 2 she had been jumping on my brand new couch, so I promptly told her to stop jumping on the nice furniture. Her response was very logical. "Then where's the mean furniture?"

While camping in the Sequoias, the entrance sign read, "1 bear incident this week...." Kelly mispronounced it as 1 bear accident....later in the bathroom, Chelsie noticed wet spots on the floor, and announced, "This must be where the bear had the accident."

We had a family home evening on choosing the right, and we thought Chelsie understood but when we asked her she said, "Yes, don't choose the left!"

When Kelly was in the 5th grade, she needed to use the classroom phone to call me. She dialed 9 to get an outside line, then she had to dial 1 because I have a long distance cell phone number, but she accidently hit the 1 twice. When the 911 dispatcher answered she was scared and just hung up. 5 minutes later the front office called the classroom stating that 3 sheriffs had arrived ready to take action and were wanting to know who called and why. Now it was by sheer coincidence that this was a morning that there was a prison breakout, so officers were on high alert. Kelly was embarrassed then, but can laugh about it now!

When Wes was about 4, he used to tell everyone that he was going to marry his friend Elizabeth, and that they were going to have 16 kids, and maybe a car.

When Chelsie was 3 1/2 we told her she needed to learn to spell her name. She responded, "I already know....A L I Z A."
(That was her best friend who taught her)

I was talking with my girls about the weather, and Kelly said, that stupid beaver was wrong, spring is not around the corner. Chelsie then chimed in, it's not a beaver, it's a warthog. Clearly I have failed them.
